The truth is in you
Overview
Early 18th century. Cartographer Jonathan Green undertakes a scientific voyage from Europe to the East. Having passed through Transylvania and crossed the Carpathian Mountains, he finds himself in a small village lost in impassible woods. Nothing but chance and heavy fog could bring him to this cursed place. People who live here do not resemble any other people which the traveler saw before that. The villagers, having dug a deep moat to fend themselves from the rest of the world, share a naive belief that they could save themselves from evil, failing to understand that evil has made its nest in their souls and is waiting for an opportunity to gush out upon the world.

This movie is probably quite unknown by most people. I certainly had never heard of it when I stumbled on it. It is a quite entertaining little fantasy / supernatural / crime movie though. I am actually not sure what to classify at as. It starts of as a fantasy movie but is it really? The cinematics of this movie is very good. For me it was the main part contributing to the enjoyment. The small world of these villagers is cinematically beautiful, dirty and gritty at the same time. The charact…

It seems to be that if your name is "Jonathan" then maybe you ought to avoid Romania? This one is called "Green" (Jason Flemyng) and he is trying to do some intricate cartography between Europe and Asia. With his stagecoach equipped with all mod cons - including some cleverly mounted reins for the horses and a candle-lit trundle wheel at the back, he sets off into the Carpathian mountains where his wheels, quite literally, come off and he finds himself in a community that has done all it can to …

If this is a remake, then I must find the original story and any films created from this story. It has all the earmarks of a great Brothers Grimm tale. Even when you think you know what is going on, you're only following breadcrumbs that have been laid before you. There will be no more telling of its storyline or content from me here. To ALL folk story lovers and scary whimsical tales, this is a MUST watch film. Absolutely a Delicious Scary Tale for all lovers of the genre...
